SILK ELITA — J&J

What Makes SILK ELITA Different from LASIK?

Traditional LASIK creates a corneal flap using either a microkeratome blade or a femtosecond laser, then reshapes the exposed stromal bed with an excimer laser. SILK ELITA (also referred to as the SMILE class of procedures) eliminates the flap entirely. The SILK ELITA J&J femtosecond laser creates a precisely shaped intrastromal lenticule — a thin disc of corneal tissue — which the surgeon then removes through a tiny incision of less than 4 mm. The corneal epithelium remains virtually intact. This architecture preserves the cornea’s mechanical strength, reduces post-operative dry eye incidence, and makes the eye far more resilient to pressure or impact after surgery. Recovery is typically 24–48 hours for functional vision, with best-corrected outcomes achieving 20/20 or better in the overwhelming majority of treated patients.

Contoura Vision — WaveLight EX500

Topography-Guided LASIK: Redefining Precision

The Alcon WaveLight EX500 excimer laser is the fastest laser platform for LASIK in clinical use today, operating at 500 Hz — meaning it fires 500 pulses per second while tracking the eye’s position at 1,050 Hz. A treatment that once took 40–60 seconds per eye is now completed in under 1.5 seconds for a typical prescription. More critically, Contoura Vision links this laser to topography data from the Topolyzer VARIO — which captures 22,000 elevation points on the corneal surface. Standard LASIK corrects refraction (sphere and cylinder). Contoura Vision corrects refraction AND the microscopic surface irregularities unique to your cornea, giving a more natural optical zone and consistently superior contrast sensitivity, night vision, and clarity. Multiple published clinical studies have shown that a meaningful proportion of Contoura-treated patients achieve better than 20/20 uncorrected visual acuity.

ICL — EVO Visian Implantable Collamer Lens

When LASIK Is Not the Answer — ICL Is

The EVO Visian ICL (STAAR Surgical) is a phakic intraocular lens — it sits between the iris and the natural crystalline lens, requiring no corneal tissue removal whatsoever. Made of Collamer, a proprietary biocompatible material containing collagen, the lens coexists harmoniously with the eye’s natural anatomy. The ICL has a built-in UV-blocking filter and a central port (KS-AquaPORT) that allows natural aqueous humour flow, eliminating the need for a peripheral iridotomy. Correction range extends from –3.0 D to –18.0 D of myopia and up to –6.0 D of astigmatism with the toric ICL variant. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes per eye under topical anaesthesia. Importantly, it is reversible — the lens can be explanted and replaced if required, meaning the cornea remains permanently untouched.

Patient Awareness

Top 10 Questions About Refractive Surgery

Answers to the questions most frequently asked by our patients and their families before undergoing LASIK, SILK ELITA, or ICL.

Eligibility depends on several factors: corneal thickness (minimum ~500 microns for LASIK, slightly more flexible for SILK ELITA), prescription stability for at least 12 months, absence of keratoconus or corneal ectasia, and general ocular health. A comprehensive pre-LASIK evaluation — including corneal topography, pachymetry, pupillometry, dry eye assessment, and wavefront analysis — is performed at Kapil Eye Hospital to precisely determine your suitability and which procedure is optimal for your eyes.
Contoura Vision LASIK (on the WaveLight EX500) creates a thin corneal flap using a femtosecond laser, then reshapes the stromal bed using topography-guided excimer laser energy mapped to 22,000 corneal elevation points. SILK ELITA is a completely flapless procedure — the SILK ELITA from J&J femtosecond laser sculpts a lenticule entirely within the corneal stroma, which the surgeon removes through a sub-4mm incision. SILK ELITA preserves more corneal structural integrity and is preferred for patients in active sports, high-impact occupations, or those with borderline dry eye. Your surgeon will recommend the right procedure based on your evaluation data.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery places a biocompatible lens inside the eye, behind the iris, without touching the cornea. It is the preferred solution for patients with high prescriptions (–3D to –18D myopia), thin corneas that are unsuitable for LASIK or SILK ELITA, significant dry eye disease, or hyperopia and astigmatism outside the LASER correction range. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes per eye, is reversible, and delivers outstanding visual quality — often superior contrast sensitivity and sharper night vision compared to spectacles or contact lenses.
LASIK and SILK ELITA are performed under topical (eye drop) anaesthesia — there are no injections or general anaesthesia. During the procedure, patients typically experience only mild pressure sensation lasting a few seconds. After Contoura Vision LASIK, functional vision returns within a few hours; after SILK ELITA, most patients see well within 24–48 hours. Minor dryness, mild fluctuation, and light sensitivity are common in the first week. Full visual stabilisation is typically achieved within 1–3 months. ICL recovery is similarly rapid — most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
The minimum recommended age for LASIK and SILK ELITA is 18 years, with prescription stability for at least 12 months being equally important. For ICL surgery, the recommended age range is typically 21–45 years, though the primary criteria remain prescription stability and clinical suitability rather than age alone. Patients above 40 are counselled about early presbyopia — the natural loss of near focus — and how that interacts with post-operative vision planning.
LASIK and SILK ELITA permanently reshape the cornea — the correction applied to your cornea does not change. However, like all individuals, your eye’s refractive status can evolve with age, particularly with the development of presbyopia (after age 40) or cataracts (later in life). The vast majority of patients remain spectacle-free for distance vision for many decades. If a small residual prescription develops years later, an enhancement procedure may be possible subject to corneal thickness suitability.
Contoura Vision LASIK on the WaveLight EX500 can correct myopia up to approximately –8D to –10D (subject to corneal thickness), hyperopia up to +4D to +6D, and astigmatism up to –5D to –6D. SILK ELITA has broadly similar correction ranges. ICL surgery extends the correction range significantly — the EVO Visian ICL corrects –3D to –18D of myopia, with the toric variant additionally correcting up to –6D of astigmatism. For very high prescriptions where corneal LASIK is unsafe, ICL is the clinically superior and safer choice.
Standard wavefront-optimised LASIK corrects spectacle prescription (sphere and cylinder) uniformly across the treatment zone. Topography-guided LASIK (Contoura Vision) additionally maps and corrects the unique surface topographic irregularities of your specific cornea — using 22,000 individual measurement points. These subtle irregularities, invisible to the naked eye, are responsible for higher-order aberrations such as glare, halos, starburst, and reduced contrast in conventional LASIK. By correcting both refraction and topographic irregularities simultaneously, Contoura Vision achieves a cleaner, smoother optical surface and better visual quality — particularly in low-light conditions and for patients with pre-existing corneal irregularities.
Contact lens wearers must discontinue soft lenses for at least 5–7 days and rigid/toric lenses for 2–4 weeks before the evaluation so that the cornea returns to its natural shape. Bring your current spectacle prescription and any prior eye records. On the day of the evaluation, avoid wearing eye makeup. The consultation at Kapil Eye Hospital typically takes 60–90 minutes and includes corneal topography, pachymetry (corneal thickness mapping), dry eye assessment, pupillometry, dilated fundus examination, and a full refractive assessment. Based on these findings, Dr. Kapil Vohra personally advises on the most appropriate procedure.
Modern LASIK, SILK ELITA, and ICL are among the most extensively studied elective surgical procedures in medicine. In properly selected and evaluated patients, serious complications are rare (less than 1% of cases in established global series). The most common transient side effects include dry eye (more common after LASIK than SILK ELITA or ICL), mild glare or halos in the first few weeks, and fluctuating vision during healing. Contraindications such as keratoconus, severe dry eye, or inadequate corneal thickness are specifically screened for during the pre-operative evaluation — which is why that assessment is indispensable. At Kapil Eye Hospital, the surgical team follows international safety protocols and outcome auditing standards.
